JA WestenbergAbsolutely obsessed with framing your employees sleeping on the floor as a humble brag
“Look how hard my team works” no dude you’re just bad at project management.
Competent companies ship products without cosplaying being homeless

People fought and died for the eight hour day (or better) for more than a century
Since Reagan and his ilk cut taxes on the wealthy in the 80s we’ve reversed course
Now have greater wealth inequality than the Gilded Age
And the new robber baron billionaires will demand our grandchildren beg for bread
Unless we take their unearned billions back
Violet Madder@AccordionBruce @TimFinnerty @Daojoan
It started before Reagan, even. A lot of groundwork was laid in the previous administrations, so Reagan could do what he did-- and all the administrations since have continued that work.

Attached: 1 image @passenger @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @HeavenlyPossum There was a neoliberal coup around 1970. The assassinations of various civil rights leaders and JFK mark a fundamental shift in power and policy to a truly cursed paradigm. It took about a decade to restructure the system, then by the 80s we felt the suction in full swing. This de-coupling of productivity from wages shows the rug being pulled out from under us all, and the working class mortally bleeding out.
kami_kadsealso what a shitty work environment

Till Kleisli@Daojoan why do they even need tents? Outside they protect from coldness or rain, but they are in a building...

MC Cannibal@Daojoan the guy who's just as obsessed with filling the world with his clones as E. Coli, makes it impossible for his employees to have any kind of family life
Evil freak Nazi.
Why do we let these South African Nazis run around destroying our country?
Dipper@Daojoan Despicable. Trying to find any sympathy for the people in these tents in me though...there is none.
Deborah Preuss, pcc 🇨🇦@LaD_Hallo I recall reading that engineers on work visas may have had no choice but to stay at Xitter (else they and their families must leave the country, or become hunted "illegals"). For some, then, a bad choice either way.
piofthings@deborahh @LaD_Hallo @Daojoan guarantee each and every one of them are on H1 visas and on the hook for a Green Card which will never arrive!
David J. Atkinson@deborahh @LaD_Hallo @Daojoan True. They can get a new job, but the rules are very obscure and most companies don’t want to deal with the hassle or the cost. It is a very exploitative situation.
gergo@Daojoan what twisted world these people live in where any aspect of having your employees sleep in tents in the office constitutes a brag... reminds me of one of my favourite jokes from the old country in which "dear leader lenin is walking down the street and some kids playing football accidentally kick the ball to him. and he gives the ball back, representing why he was such a dear leader, becase after all, he could also had had them shot."
Helgi Crookehorne@gergolippai @Daojoan that's not feature of Marxism at all, that's old times Muscovy. They kneel, kholops! They rebel on there knees, only if their Tsar is gone somewhere. The last contestant was Prigozhin, he's very popular, because also brutal criminal scumbag, like some Notorious PIG kinda type.
juliette@Daojoan disrupting the sweatshop industry
Jencel Panic@Daojoan And also toxic and criminal...
Vysogota@abuseofnotation @Daojoan it's only criminal in countries that are actually not a fash shithole...
Alien software, human hardware@Daojoan that is positively deranged. It has to be performative, to please his/their completely crazy boss Musk.
No one can think this is a way to produce anything good. Right?..
Right??
Weltzeitgeist@Daojoan Cool. The richest man on earth has his own slaves. That's great. Capitalism rules.
xs4me2Management should be prosecuted for this. It’s abuse…
Michael@Daojoan the more I think about this / look at it. The less I understand about everything in life? These shit heads are being paid by the worlds richest (on paper) “man”. To build a word generator they think is so powerful its going to take away the need for human labour. And they are sleeping in tests on concrete floors just to prove they are worthy of having a job for sometime? Share options make people crazy…
Orava@implementcontrols @Daojoan
Share options and maybe also work visas that are their only, albeit flimsy, protection from masked fascist kidnapping squads.

Face Thumb@implementcontrols @Daojoan "If I succeed I won't have to sleep in the office because I won't have a job. Oh, wait. Well at least I'll have a tent to sleep in."
Shaun Griffith@Daojoan "RTO, We have tents!"
Or are these employee provided?
At least WFH, you can sleep in your own bed.
Hyperlink Your Heart@shaungriffith @Daojoan I guess if they live in the office they are WFH...
Timothy Wolodzko@Daojoan "Good night's sleep will often do wonders."
sortius 
@Daojoan I live around a heap of homeless people, and if these fuckers spent 5 minutes talking to them they'd still be fuckers, but at least with the knowledge they were fuckers.
I remember a local homeless person was at the pub, we were talking, and some rich woman was complaining about living in a hotel. The homeless woman rolled her eyes and said "I wish I had a hotel to go to"
Heinzenstein@Daojoan
What I read:
"Hey, look how we treat our workers in a way that they don't have a personal life anymore.
Also, see how we don't care for them enough to provide them with actual sleeping rooms or beds because that would cost money."
In what world are they living that they think this is something to brag about publically?
Droid Boy 
James Smith 💾@Daojoan the sheer cognitive dissonance of “a good night’s sleep will often do wonders”.
random thoughts@Daojoan psychopaths, all of them.
Simon Hain@Daojoan They have all the lights on at 2:48AM? 💩
Marud 
@Daojoan also "a good night's sleep" ... Do you think you'll sleep well with a matress on the floor, and dozens of people who will snore around you ?
Morten@Daojoan Pretty sure this is a shitpost. Looked up Mark K and he works in Germany. And I found this article. It looks like a parking garage. Pretty sure there would have been more pictures from xAI if their offices were in a parking garage, tents or not.
Barry Rowlingson@drgroftehauge @Daojoan the thing about shitposts on X/Twitter is they're going to be the training data for Grokipedia...
Frank Heijkamp
Nicole ParsonsNo wonder Bezos, Musk, & Koch Network bought a corrupt Supreme Court to kneecap the NLRB and OSHA.
This isn't "hard work". This is abuse of employees & temporary foreign workers on visas.
@Daojoan they confused me, they have Grok, why do they need xAI? If they operate Xitter with xAI then why do they let Grok stick around? Who looks at reports and appeals, the machines too?! I once got struck by telling a Donetsk collaborator that Russian neonazis will smash his face with such a mug, he has name and mug of some Jew. VladislaV Berdiczewsky he is. Breege_93 was the last handle I know of.
CodeByJeff@Daojoan my father - a West Point graduate who later made a career of logistics & manufacturing management - always said,
"If it takes you more than 8 hours to do your job, you're not doing your job well"
(This was in the days when a company actually gave you 8 hours of work to accomplish most days)
Halla Rempt@Daojoan Oh gods, I know that guy... Isn't that mamarok's husband, who used to be the Amarok music player's project maintainer. I've met him, before some craziness happened and he disappeared.
And having people sleep in their own tents in the office... Is awful.
(And, yeah, he always was the kind of guy who'd still be on twitter.)
Rihards Olups
Matthias Kretz | Vir@halla @Daojoan I sure remember Mark. I didn't work too closely with him, so this felt like it must be fake. But according to his GitHub (https://github.com/markey) that's his Twitter account. And his Twitter profile picture wasn't something I recalled. But that seems to be because of AI...
Seems legit. 😞

1337@Daojoan I wouldn't be surprised to find out this is another instance of modern day slavery in the US. I.e. they could be immigrants and xAI could be holding their paperwork hostage under threat of detainment and deportation. Probably just cult behavior though.
Nat@Daojoan the US really is sliding into third world country territory with this behavior. Not because of circumstance or hardship but of ultimately uncivilized ideology.
David Cohen@Daojoan @Nickiquote A good night’s sleep? On the floor in a tent? That’s a “white powder in the executive bathroom” perspective.
